WordPress Snippet: English UK Language setting

You can set the language within WordPress to English UK, which may not mean a great deal, but it is rather nice to be greeted with “How are you, Babs?” instead of “Howdy…” and be offered the “Bin” instead of “Trash”.

All you do is pop to Settings within your Dashboard, then at the bottom of the General page you can select English UK as your language, then Save Changes.

You may then see and Update available – this will be to update the language files – so update and away you go – no more will your WordPress highlight “colour” or “specialise” (though your browser might…).

Australia and Canada get their own versions too, so we should all be happy! And yes, I know we could download the files and install before, but having it simple is rather nice, don’t you think?

Now if they could just find a way to have WordPress make us a nice cup of tea…
